Prequel Chapter 3: Sad AJ

"Hey, you can't do this to me! FLAME!" Melody blocked it with a dinner plate. I woke up to find her and Amitie trying to enter my room. "Get out!" I jumped out of bed.

"No, Junior!"
"We had enough of your attitude. You terrorized everyone enough!"

"When did you get a spine? You know I can take you in a battle." I asserted. "Are you gonna try and slap with that funny hat?"

"No, missy." Oh, I see, that's an amazing brave face they're putting on. "We want you to sit still for a bit."

"Not gonna!" I prepared flame. "I'll toast ya if you make me!" I threatened them.

"And then what?" Amitie asked. I didn't get it.

"What does that mean?" I frowned.

"It means we've checkmated you, Junior." Melody leaned over.

"It's AJ! EXPLAIN!" I am feeling weird. What is this? Fear?

"What are going to do when you've hospitalized us?"
"Amitie and I are regrettably your parents. What are you gonna do when we are gone?"

They stepped forward, I have no idea why but I walked into the corner. Why are they scaring me? "Eh…?"

"Harm us, and you'll be taken away."
"Any spell you will leave valuable evidence for authorities to take you away."
"Don't think we won't let them do that."

"Y-you're bluffing!"

"Are we?"
"We aren't! All we are asking is that you'd be nicer."

"I can't! I have no soul!" I said whatever came to mind.

"That's not the problem." Amitie replied. He never scared me before! Why now!?

"Being soulless isn't an excuse, Amitie Rose Jr.!" I hate this! "We know that you know this. Plenty of soulless people aren't evil."
"YOU ARE!"
"YOU ARE!"

My back slid against the wall.

"We don't know what went wrong with you… But we will fix you."

"Close your eyes. This won't hurt." I did what Melody told me. But it only made things worse. They can't force me to be a goody-go
